⚠️ Important PF Rule

Your UAN (Universal Account Number) is a one-time permanent number. Do not generate a new UAN when changing jobs. Give your existing UAN to your new employer so they can link your new PF member ID to it. This ensures all your funds stay in one place and prevents transfer delays!

Frequently Asked Questions (EPFO & UAN)

1. What is the exact format of a valid UAN?
A valid Universal Account Number (UAN) consists of exactly 12 numeric digits (0-9). It does not contain any alphabets, hyphens, slashes, or blank spaces.
2. What is the difference between UAN and PF Number?
Your PF Member ID changes every time you join a new company. However, the UAN is a central 12-digit number that links all your different PF Member IDs together. Desi Fact: UAN aapka PF ka “Aadhaar Card” hai, jo kabhi nahi badalta.
3. Is it safe to enter my UAN on this website?
Yes, absolutely safe. Our validator performs a Client-Side check. This means the 12 digits are analyzed directly by your web browser to ensure the format is correct. The number is never transmitted, saved, or logged on any external server.
4. What should I do if my UAN format is correct but login fails?
If the format is valid but you cannot log into the EPFO portal, it usually means your UAN has not been ‘Activated’ yet. You need to visit the official UAN Member e-Sewa portal and click on “Activate UAN” using your Aadhaar linked mobile number.
5. How can I find my UAN if I lost it?
You can easily find your UAN by: 1) Checking your company payslip. 2) Using the “Know your UAN” link on the official EPFO portal using your Aadhaar or PAN. 3) Checking the UMANG mobile app.
